The surface of the body is encircled with exceptional chased undulating fruiting vine ornamentation, all on a matte background.

The plain upper portion of the bowl is encircled with a flared border with a scalloped shaped rim.

This large silver bowl is fitted with two exceptional cast and applied handles each modelled in the form of a lioness; each feline grasps the rim of the bowl with their front paws and is supported to the lower portion with the hind quarters and tail, in junction with the fruiting vine ornamentation.

The domed portion of the circular foot is encompassed with further chased ornamentation reflecting the design to the body.

If required, this antique bowl with handles could be supplied with a bespoke ebonised black plinth with sterling silver plaque or band, suitable for a personal engraved inscription. This service would take approximately 6 weeks, whereas the bowl can be dispatched separately prior to completion.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
